This article aims to conduct a study of the medical literature on the relationship between Acne and Diet. Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead cells, resulting in blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory lesions. Factors such as hormones, genetics, stress, and diet can contribute to its development. The condition is most common during adolescence, but can affect people of all ages. Treatments include topical products, oral medications, and skin care. Diet can influence acne, with studies suggesting that high-glycemic foods, dairy products, and diets high in sugars and saturated fats can aggravate the condition. These foods can increase sebum production and inflammation, factors that contribute to the formation of acne. On the other hand, a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as omega-3s and antioxidants, can help improve skin health. The search engines used were PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO and Google Scholar to select articles using the keywords.
